[Special Washington Letter.}
Democrats are getting together ev?
erywhere. I have positive and peculiar
evidence of that in the circulation of
these letters. When I began them two
years and a half ago, I discovered that
a plain, unfrilled Democrat such as I
am could not express a blunt, unequiv?
ocal opinion upon any phase of current
politics without offending some Demo?
cratic tenderfoot somewhere, but I
kept on expressing Democratic opin?
ions without hedging or double dealing
or mental reservation until the present
writing and shall continue to do so as
long as I write or speak ai all. For the
last year the letters have been growing
in circulation until now they are read
by more people than read any metro?
politan daily in the land, which goes to
show that Democrats are getting to?
gether and girding up their loins for a
contest the most important in the his?
tory of the American republic, for it is
a contest to determine whether the re?
public shall live.
Democratic Prospects Hrijcht.
But while Democratic prospects are
improving daily Republican affairs aro
daily getting into a worse condition.
At present the situation in winch they
find themselves may be aptly described
as "confusion worse confounded." Dis?
asters and scandals are crowding upon
the G. O. P. so rapidly that it requires
a lightning calculator to keep tab on
the changes which it finds itself com?
pelled to make. For instance, only a
few moons ago my brilliant and amia?
ble friend Postmaster General Smith
of Philadelphia was a prime favorite
for the vice presidential nomination.
Now. presto change, he is in a fix to
exclaim with the poet:
If so soon I'm donc fer.
What the deuce was I beeron for?
because the Philadelphia Republicans
are passing resolutions asking him to
resign his cabinet portfolio by reason
cf the Cuban scandals. When any?
thing gets too bad for the Republican
ballot box stutters, repeaters aral heel?
ers, it must be awful-awful-awful
awfully awful. Will General Smith
resign? Not much. No Republican
was ever known to let loose of the pub?
lic teat except ander pressure and pres?
sure of the hardest and most irresisti
I
ble sort at that. Take General Russell I
\. Alger of Michigan, late secretary of
war. as an example. He was notori?
ously unfit for the position. His army
record was a disgrace. His appoint?
ment was an insult and humiliation to
every brave old soldier in tin* land, He
was generally considered incompetent.
His department reeked with scandal
and was odoriferous with rottenness.
During the Spanish war his worthless
favorites were shoved to the front and
officers with splendid records and of
approved capacity crowded to the rear.
Nothing but the incapacity of the
Spaniards saved us front a great disas?
ter. Soldiers wanted Alger to resign.
Nine-tenths of the American people
wanted him t<> resign, but he cared
about as much ifor the poitings of pub?
lic opinion as a duck would care for a
gentle April shower failing on his
bael:. Sr. he held wit?? the tenacity
of a snapping turtle until McKinley in
self defense forced him out. J
Caujrht In Dad Company.
It is thc same with ..;!] Tin- rest. Ev?
ery honest maa in the land proud of
his country and jealous of its honor

of the treasury, ought to I?- impeached
by reason cf his dealings with Hep?
burn and his New York bank, btu Ly?
man v ii! never resign until McKinley
forces Iii;;: ti ? go in order t-> save him?
self.
The Philadelphia R?publicain are I
merely squandering their energies in !
passing resolutions asking Postmaster
General Smith to resign. Like the Bos?
ton transcendentalists, they are seek- j
ing the unattainable. They :::.<. snr.-- \

was the .? ??tor in chief of a great
metropolitan daily, the Philadelphia
Press, and personally popular with the
top notehers in the editorial fraternaly
as weli as with tko rank and file of
lesser editors. Bis accession to the j
cabinet was hailed with delight. His;
future seemed brigl.1 indeed! Now
Philadelphia Republicans ask him to
resign. Virgil was right when he said.
"Facilis descensus averno"- easj the ,
road to hell. That was a general state?
ment of a great truth. If he were liv?
ing now, he would be more specific and
say. "The easiest road to ruin is to be
attached to the McHanna administra?
tion!"
Hanna Badly Seared.
Mark Hanna, notwithstanding all his
bluster and swagger, is badly seared.
He is working and hiring others to
work-yes. hiring is the proper word
like beavers. I have it from a perfect?
ly reliable source that Mark has hired
two slick agents to organize and spr?
out the situation in every county in ev?
ery state which is not certainly and
overwhelmingly Democratic. They
have been busy at this job ever since
February. They of course do not go
about announcing themselves as Mark's
crimps, but they assume the character
of agents for some article or other
any old thing will do-and thus worm
themselves into the confidence of un?
suspecting people. Their business is to
find out what Republicans are sore and
what they are sore about, who are for
sale and how much it will take to buy
them, who are timid and can be bull?
dozed and the best methods to accom?
plish that object and so on to the end
of the chapter. Honest men every?
where are hereby warned to be on
their guard against Mark's envoys and
I plenipotentiaries. .
Patriotism a Crime.
If Senator Eugene Hale of Maine
does not keep his optic peeled, he is lia?
ble to be harnessed up sans c?r?monie
and prosecuted for leze majesty and
socked behind the bars. It would be a
pity that such a thing should happen
to him: but, rampant Republican that
be is and from a rock ribbed state, he
shows indubitable signs of humanity
! and patriotism-monstrous crimes in
the opinion of such administration bra?
vos as Senator Aldrich. When Senator
Hale not long since made a plain state?
ment of facts-incontrovertible facts
to the effect that when in 1S79 congress
appropriated a large sum to pay for
sending to starving India the food con?
tributed by generous western Ameri?
cans, the English government made no
acknowledgment of the vast charity
and has not done so to this day. Al?
drich bobbed up like a jack in the box
and promptly rebuked Hale for making
"a political speech." a performance
which Senator Hale would do well not
to repeat if lie wishes to stand well at
court.
Sometimes vaulting ambition o'or
leaps itself and falls on t'other side
with a dull sickening thud. That was
exemplified in the closing days of the
session by what happened to Thiele Joe
Cannon, chairman of the committee on
appropriations. Thiele Joe has a lurk?
ing suspicion that he runs the whole
machine and consequently allows him?
self a vast doa! of space in which to
gyrate. Buoyed up by his own enthu?
siasm. Uncle Joe jumped Amos Cum?
mings and despitefully used him and
his fellow conferees on tlie naval ap?
propriation bill. That's precisely where
your Thiele Joseph dropped his water?
melon. The unexpected happened short?
ly after Uncle Joe's saltatory perform?
ance, for Amos j um pod him and danc?
ed a war jig upon the statesman from
Danville. l?o heat, kicked, cuffed, hit
and gouged the venerable calisthenic
artist and finally fiting h's remains in?
to the air with this declaration: "Ton
are no Cannon: you are on?v a tov mus- '
ker!" The house cheered Amos and i
whooped and yelled 'ill it was ??ar of j
breath and red ia the face.
As to tlie Vice Presidency.
Bryan will certain?;.' be nominated at
Kansas City. Nothing hut death <>r hi?
decimation can prevent that. As he is
in the liower of his years .-md in per?
fect fettle he is not likely to die be?
twixt now and the first days of July
As to declining, that's out of tin- ques?
tion. Even if he wanted to decline the
people would not let him do so. The
platform is also practically written.
Everybody knows what it will be. The
only thing in doubt at Kansas City is
the vice presidential candidate. Who
shall he be? What manner of man do
we want? I have two weil considered ?
and well settled opinions as to that.
Ile should be a man mentally, morally,
physically and politically fit to be pres?
ident. It is arrant nonsense to g<> to
the trouble of carrying thc country and
then have only one iife stand between j
us and ihe disappointment of our.!
hopes. Bryan will be elected", bu? a fe- !

Therefore we ought to nominare bis I

One of rho veiw best things done bv
.ri ms'y. for D<*uiiK;rats do liol ode
yaam. They simply ?a sp iso him; But
when Mr. McKinley nominated Bynum
as a Democrat to a position-driven by
law to Democrats he did the^nosi dis?
reputable thing I ever heard of his do?
ing. He- knew that Bynum did all in
his power to elect him in 1S0G and that
in 1898 Bynum prowled around over
the country making speeches in close
congressional districts against the
Democratic nominees and in support of
the Republican nominees. For exam?
ple, up in Iowa he stumped for Colonel
Hepburn and Major Lacey, who are
rantankerous radical Republicans. In?
deed it took several orations from both
William D. Bynum and William Mc?
Kinley to pull through that pair of con?
spicuous thick and thin McIIannaites.
Yet they both had the colossal cheek to
certify or testify that in their dictriets
Bynum spoke in his character of Dem?
ocrat and wa? always introduced as a
Democrat. Of course he was and why?
In order that he might be able in his
role of Democratic decoy duck, which
he was hired to play, to inveigle
some mutton headed Democrat into
voting for Hepburn or Lacey. Had he
appeared in his true character of a Re?
publican-and a Republican for reve?
nue at that-he would not have fooled
even one stupid Democrat and there?
fore would have boen of no service to
the slick colonel and the sly major. To
Senator James K. Jones is due the hon
j or of organizing the fight which kept
Bynum from the public crib and land?
ed him outside the breastworks. So
goodby. Mr. Bynum!
What Miprht Have Been.
I am reminded forcibly at this mo?
ment of the wisdom of the old saw
which says. "Don't whistle till you get
out of the woods." for the ink was
scarcely dry on the foregoing portion
of this letter touching Mr. Bynum until
I learned that the president has ap?
pointed or is about to appoint Bynum
to the vacancy on the codifying com?
mission in place of Judge David
Browning Culberson of Texas, who re?
cently departed this life. I don't be?
grudge Bynum the $.">.(M)0 salary. If he
is appointed as a Republican, which he
is, all well and good, but if he is ap?
pointed as a Democrat, which lie is not,
I hope Democratic senators will pre?
vent his confirmation.
It is pitiful to think of what Bynum
is. a suppliant for the crumbs falling
from his Republican master's table,
and of what he might have been, the
proud and beloved leader of the Indi?
ana Democracy, the successor in the
hearts of the Hoosiers of Thomas A.
Hendricks, the Philip Sidney of the
American Democracy.
"What the people of Indiana think of
Governor Mount I do not know. He i
may be to the taste of the Hoosier Re?
publicans as the old saying hath it. "De
gustibus non est disputandum." which
being translated means. "There is no
disputing about tastes." but he can rest
assured that honest men everywhere,
without regard to political affiliations,
believe that he has utterly disgraced
the high position which he holds and
earned the unspeakable contempt of all
decent people by refusing a requisition
froin Governor Beckham of Kentucky
to deliver np ex-Governor Taylor of
Kentucky to answer to an indictment
as an accessory b> the assassination of

NEW MILLINERY.
French Hats and Donn eta and Their
Deco ra tic us.
The spring millinery models exhibited
for the Easter season show many odd
features. Nearly all the hats are large,
hut they are composed of the most va?
ried materials. The frames are covered
with silk, tulle, lace, mousseline de soie,
guipure or entirely with foliage or flow?
ers, while something still newer is the
use of straw tissue so fine as to be as
transparent as tulle. Flowers, and espe?
cially fruit and foliage, are used ia great
profusion, grapes, with their leaves, be

lng in particular favor. Many cherries
are aiso seen, the prettiest of these being
of painted velvet.
Old fashioned lace straw is being re?
vived as a novelty, and numerous small
bonnet shapes are shown in it,'especially
in the natural yellowish r-olor.
A picture is given which shows a tailor j
made spring costume for a L'irl of 10 or j
ll years. It is of pastel blue cloth, the j
skirt having a plain tablier and being !
mounted in box plaits at the sides and
back. There are lines of white silk
stitching around the foot of the skirt and
at the top of each plait. The short sack
bodice has a shawl collar and revers
faced with blue and white checked silk.
The plastron is of blue cloth and, like
the sack and sleeves, is ornamented with
lines of white stitching. The buttons
are of dull gold. A hat of blue straw is
worn, with a trimming of white embroid?
ered mousseline de soie and a curved
feather. JUDIC CHOIXET.
